"We'll get through this together, Lucian," she whispered, her breath warm against his cheek.
Her voice carried a faint quiver, overwhelmed by the emotions of the moment.
Her mind wandered, and they were drawn unintentionally to his slightly parted lips.
The intense desire to kiss him grew stronger with every passing moment. She inched closer, their faces drawing near.
The world around her seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of them in this delicate, charged moment.
Her breath quickened, and she was on the brink of closing the gap, a mix of longing and uncertainty swirling within her.
The sudden movement near the door caught her attention as she leaned in, just about to kiss Lucian. Liz pulled back quickly, her heart racing as she turned to see what had disrupted the moment.
Oh, fuck!
Oh, dear. She was in trouble. Liz's heart pounded as she locked eyes with Gabriel, his piercing yellow gaze fixed upon her.
